I'm missing the whole point of the question asked...... What's with the compulsions lately? Is that a new forum trend? I've noticed a couple of these threads.... we need to.... everyone must use this.... The oddest thing is that with a number of these threads, the op posts and disappears, while everyone keeps on discussing, kind of strange.

 

If I browse through the galleries I see a lot of characters for V4 being used, I would say at least 90% of people using V4 don't use it 'out of the box', but either use a morph or create their own character. OK, they don't all look realistic, let's be realistic..... this is Poser we're talking about. When using Poser and 3D models, only a certain amount of reality can be achieved, you'll never get it perfect, 97% of the time it will still look like a digital render. If people are that desperate for reality, why not buy a camera, get a model and start shooting pictures? I don't think it will be much more expensive then using poser, may actually end up being cheap and it sure is real, you can never achieve that with poser..... at the moment. You may get close and perhaps in years to come we may get very close.

 

I don't think many peope using poser want to create reality anyway or want their renders to look like real persons. It's the 3D'ish look which makes things interesting. I don't want to copy the real world, I want to create a world of my own and somehow make sure you don't mistake it for a photo, but you can see that I put a lot of effort into the image. That's the fun of using poser for me, I can create something I like and it doesn't have to look like something real and the characters I use don't have to be real persons or resemble them. If you want perfect reality, I don't think poser is the tool to use.
